What can I say about David’s Catfish? We went in for an early-bird dinner on a Saturday in January. We were in town for the Emerald Coast Inline Speed Challenge. We were immediately seated, and our drink order was taken promptly, and our server brought a whole pitcher of sweet tea for our table! 🤗 Food prices were competitively priced and we received appropriate portion la for the price! The food itself was fantastic. Our order included a 1 piece filet with slaw and fries, fish and shrimp combo with slaw and fries, and a 12 oz. Ribeye with fries and fried okra. Our server brought our slaw out first, and it was a mayo based slaw with finely chopped cabbage. It was so delicious that I asked for a 2nd portion with my dinner, and didn’t charge me. The only critiques I will give is the steak could have used a little more seasoning on it, and the hush puppies were quite dense, although I would not ding the restaurant for this. It was a ln overall great experience, and we will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Love David's...best slaw I've ever tasted. Always great food served with a smile. Great fried catfish, hushpuppies and peel and eat shrimp. Fried okra is great too. Great portions, great price.

After God Created the heavens and the Earth, separated the seas and the skies, gathered the waters and grew the vegetation, on the seventh day he rested. What the Bible's authors failed to document was that on that day, an overwhelming hunger manifested in Him, one that could not be satisfied only with the vegetation he had created. So after resting, on the seventh day, lo and behold the glories of catfish was born. May you never want for another. May all gather in attempt to taste this luxurious and flakey goodness in an attempt to live out your fantasy of being a main character in a perfect life. And Thou Shall Enjoy Catfish, the Eleventh Commandment.

We live about 35 miles away and our David's closed so when I'm in Milton I order to take home. This time prices were up and quantity was down. $55 for 2 combo dinners that Were les than $40 a short time ago. Catfish filets were small and only gave 1 serving of cocktail sauce and 1 tartar-I asked for more and was told there were more in the bag- there was not. Ordered green beans and cole slaw -no cole slaw but an extra green beans. Based on price and quality-I doubt I'll go back...

Easy parking. Charming server. The side of coleslaw was tasty and generous. The fried catfish and oysters, the reason for coming, were meager, overpriced (at least the $16 combo basket), and overcooked. No alcohol. Waitress brought check without checking if we wanted dessert.

This place used to be really good. I went today July 1, 2023 at 2pm. I ordered the haburger steak with a baked potato and a side salad. I recieved my salad quickly. I looked my salad over and there were multiple leaves of lettuce that were brown obviously left out away from refrigeration. When I took my first bite it wasnt cool. Another lady down from me called the waitress over and complained her bake potato was old. When I recieved my plate the bake potato was small and wasnt even hot. How can you melt butter with a lukewarm potato. After my first bite I alsi noted the potato tasted old. If the truth were known the potato was left over frim the day before or possibly several fays. Very disappointed in this Davids. Was a waste of my money.

We went with a group of about 15 and our food was fantastic. A lot of us had the Catfish fillets and they were done just right. I had the 3 catfish fillets with coleslaw and slaw and it was fantastic. My wife also had the gumbo that she enjoyed. David's Catfish house can always be counted on to serve great food.

First off.... They serve Catfish, that's about the extent of the menu. I ordered the broiled lemon pepper and it was terrible... Like, leave it on the plate and wanting to spit it into my napkin bad. My husband ordered the fried plate and they were not soggy but the batter had zero seasoning or flavor. Baked beans were from a can and warmed up. The baked sweet potato was super mushy and greasy. Side salad is iceberg lettuce blend from a bag but they did put bacon bits on it. The hush puppies were the best part of it. The staff was nice and pretty accommodating. Maybe it was an off night? People rave about this place, but I didn't get it. I doubt we will return.

I have to admit the first time I heard about having breakfast at a catfish house I was taking a little back. I'm not much for catfish, much less fish itself for breakfast. But this is a misnomer. The breakfast here are large flavorful and varied. The prices are down to earth and the service is wonderful. I can't recommend the catfish house highly enough if you're in the Navarre area or out on Navarre Beach. Make sure to show up early so you get in, and I understand lunch is just as good even though I have not had lunch there.

I had boiled shrimp, would have preferred them shelled but- whatever. They were a little tough but the rest of the meal was good. Hubby would have liked bigger catfish instead of little ones but like I said before the rest of the meal was good.

I can't wait to go back at the end of July!!

This catfish house used to be excellent. Tonight was our third and last time to dine there. The catfish fillets were thin and consisted mostly of fried coating. The baked potatoes were not sufficiently cooked and too cool to melt butter. The hush puppies were cold. Hot ones were brought but they were under cooked and doughy. The Cole slaw lacked its former creamy taste. To top it off the packets of sour cream were two weeks beyond the date stamped on them. All this at a greatly increased price. It’s sad to see a once great restaurant go so far down hill.
